Do you know why Al-Qaeda is named so?

Question

It was a CIA code for the DATABASE.. ie the list of all the jihadi freaks recruited by the Feds back in the 80's... now they are your enemy... or is it the Feds?

Answer 1

That really wouldn't shock me, however, I don't think that is entirely true.  Al-Qaeda translated means The Base.  I just thought that was interesting.

Answer 2

Interesting notion, but entirely unsupported by fact.

Answer 3

it translates as dipsh*ts

Answer 4

I heard it was translated into "the toilet" a real good name for a CIA front organization that is used to justify the conquest of the middle east.

Answer 5

Though it is well known that the CIA trainied "Freedom Fighters" all over the middle east and supplied thousands of missiles and rockets and weapons to the Afghanistan rebels in the 80's and as solid as the information on all that is I have yet to find a direct link to Al-Queda however I am sure they had a hand in it

Answer 6

It literally means "the base". Terrorists trained at various bases and the name stuck. I really don't think it has much to do with our government to be honest.

Answer 7

History teachs you that your best enemy is most of the time trained by yourselves.

Otherway you ll have never heard about him cause he would have die at his first attempt.

A best enemy is someone that knows your tactics, your uses and the way you works.

I think it have begin with Vercingetorix who was military trained by Cesar and suceed to defeat the invincible Rome.

There is counter examples this way since that time
